Reuse sequences in Leapwork Performance

Reusable sequences let you define a common flow once and use it inside other sequences. This helps you reduce duplication, keep shared logic consistent, and update repeated steps in one place.

When to use reusable sequences

Reusable sequences are useful when the same flow appears in multiple tests, for example:

  • signing in before different user journeys

  • navigating to a shared starting point

  • creating or searching for a record in a standard way

  • reusing a common API or business flow across projects

Why this helps

Using reusable sequences can help you:

  • reduce maintenance effort across multiple sequences

  • keep shared logic consistent

  • build larger test flows from smaller, easier-to-manage parts

  • speed up authoring when the same steps are needed more than once

Before you start

  • Make sure the sequence you want to reuse already exists.

  • Keep shared sequences in a folder structure that is easy for your team to find and manage.

  • If the reused sequence is part of a larger test flow, run a preview after adding it so you can confirm the full sequence still behaves as expected.

Add a reusable sequence to another sequence

  1. Open the sequence where you want to reuse an existing flow.

  2. Add a Run sequence step.

  3. Select the sequence you want to reuse.

  4. Save your changes.

  5. Run a preview to validate the full sequence before using it in a timeline.

Typical example

A common pattern is to create one sequence for Sign in and reuse it in multiple larger sequences, such as:

  • Sign in + browse catalog

  • Sign in + create record

  • Sign in + submit request

In this setup, you maintain the sign-in logic once and reuse it wherever it is needed.

Best practices

  • Use reusable sequences for stable, repeatable parts of a workflow.

  • Give shared sequences clear names so they are easy to identify.

  • Keep reusable sequences focused on one purpose instead of making them too broad.

  • Validate parent sequences with a preview run after making changes to a reused sequence.

  • Review copied or imported assets if your workflow includes nested reusable sequences.

Validate before running load

Leapwork Performance supports preview runs so you can verify that the full sequence works before using it in a larger execution. This is the safest way to confirm that the parent sequence and the reused sequence work together as expected.
